	DIRTY DEVIL WILDERNESS
		Deep within the Dirty Devil River canyons lies a mesa called "The Block." It is a formidable object, a thousand-foot-high fortress with cliff walls curving inward to form deep bays and coves and reaching outward as jetty-like arms.
		The Dirty Devil River and its tributaries have carved as deep as 2,000 feet into the gently uplifted land, leaving a retreating series of cliffs and benches, a classic example of canyon lands topography.
		The Dirty Devil River, a candidate for wild and scenic listing, may be floated during high runoff in kayaks, canoes, or small rafts; it makes an excellent backpack, too, either as a week-long trip down its entire length or as shorter trips via its sidecanyons.

	1994 Tar-Pamlico River Basinwide Water Quality Management Plan Executive Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The upper portion of the river from its headwaters downstream to US Highway 17 in the Town of Washington is called the Tar River.
		The entire Tar-Pamlico River basin was designated as Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) in 1989 in response to the problems associated with nutrient loading (from both point and nonpoint sources) and the resulting eutrophication and algal blooms in the Pamlico River estuary.
		The lowest median dissolved oxygen values for the Tar River and the highest median levels of nitrate/nitrite-nitrogen are found at this ambient station.

	Low River Makes Paddling Difficult; Tar River, NC, Sections 1-3, 4 & 5, by H. Kent Craig
		After all, we had planned to do these sections for months, once the water level was up, and according to the weather reports all week the entire upper Tar River basin had gotten an inch or two or more of rain per day for the entire week.
		The sandbars were exposed fully, their edges being eroded away by the water in the main channel, and the main channel was blocked cleanly by the aforementioned downed tree.
		At one point along the south bank, we saw what appeared to be two huge sand-dredging operations, possibly used for dredging up sand from the river bottom for use in construction and such, though I wonder since recently identified platinum and other ore deposits are starting to be developed in that area of the state.

	About the Tar-Pamlico River
		The Tar River and the Pamlico River are not two different rivers, but are simply the upstream and estuarine portions of a single river system.
		Beyond all of the subtle differences, there is a major distinction between a freshwater river and the estuary where it mixes with saltwater from the Atlantic Ocean.
		The watershed is roughly split in half near Rocky Mount by the " fall line." Major tributaries of the Tar mainstem include Cokey Swamp, and Fishing, Swift and Sandy creeks; some of the larger Pamlico feeders are Tranters, Chocowinity, Blounts, Broad, Goose, Bath and Sout creeks, as well as the 30-mile long Pungo River.
